[Intro] Yeah, yuh Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team here [Verse 1: Adam WarRock] Well it's a cold, cold world that's why I got me a coat Cause we're about out of hope I hope y'all rappers can float Make the hands clap, hoping backpackin' rappers resolve that We're the firing squad, I'll give y'all rappers a smoke This ain't grumpy old men, this is young Jack and Walter Losing more than Parker Lewis bank accounts falter Nerdcore gods y'all best to pray to the altar Too bad it don't mean nothing to our mothers and fathers Try my best to keep my head above the water Any ideas that might spark, huntin' only white sharks White knights to troglodytes, twenty-sided-dice fights Sellin' all our albums if the price is right, yo You thought we had the good life, well tough sh** Still trying to keep the gas on and the fire lit Started underground and then we fell to the Earth's core Who ever thought we'd make a living doing only nerdcore? [Hook] Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started on the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) [Verse 2: Adam WarRock] This one's for bottom feeders and those catfish acts Or the nerds that tried their best but just did rap bad To them b**h a** dads that beat their wives and kids And those cops who shoot first, no questions were asked (f** y'all) We take no names, this is no friends This the line where mister nice guy and bad guy ends Hey you want a punch line? Okay I got you I'm colder than the fluid that runs through Nosferatu [Verse 3: Mikal kHill] Hey guys Yeah, well it's kHill Haven't seen you in a few days Gettin' gray hair but I guess it's my Silver Age Doin' sh** the same way, couple years now Laugh out loud, can't keep a narcissist down And we found a better path than the one of least resistance Carving out a niche and then growing to present it If I said it I meant it except the part that I didn't You think that it's a game? Well guess what? It totally is [Hook] Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) [Verse 4: Mikal kHill] When I was in high school I never could've imagined that Anyone would care if I could tour the country like I did But I was pushing thirty 'fore I found my own voice And it was past that, realized I didn't have a choice This was do it or die, why try to lie my way back out of it Keep going [?] [?] combatative[?] My thoughts I've rerouted however make it work Fifty percent the nicest guy, other half I'm a jerk I'm a looming disaster soundtrack My old a** only laughter before the dust blows I get to the hereafter Me and WarRock counted down the hours on a doomsday clock Watching other people try to start and then have to stop That ain't hip hop, they stay clinging to the ghosts of their youth One step towards keeping it real's keeping it true (ooh ooh) Rabid and [?] stalwart and [?] grumpiest in the game Did it their own f**ing way from the birth to the grave [Hook] Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here) Started from the bottom now we're here Started from the bottom now my whole team (still here)
